EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming illustration from 1888 captures a timeless scene of childhood innocence and imagination. The little girl is engrossed in play, surrounded by her beloved dolls, each one carefully tended to with the care and attention of a devoted mother. The image, originally entitled "Dear, dear; what it is to be a mother of a family," speaks volumes about the universal experience of nurturing and caring for others.
Created by Emily Lees as part of her collection of sketches called Little Mothers, this piece beautifully conveys the joy and responsibility that comes with looking after loved ones. The detail in the drawing brings to life the emotions felt by both the little girl and her cherished dolls.
As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of our own childhood days spent lost in make-believe worlds. The simplicity yet depth of emotion captured here resonates across generations, making it a truly special piece that continues to touch hearts even over a century later.
This print serves as a poignant reminder that no matter how much time passes, the essence of childhood remains unchanged - filled with wonder, love, and endless possibilities.
